Fallen Angel

Chapter 21

 Loki's POV

I start opening my eyes.

I don't see her.

I get up quickly and look around.

The cloths that had been left on the floor were now properly folded on the bed.

I go to the bathroom. She isn't there either, but there was steam in the air which means she has been here a short while ago.

I take a quick shower, put on some clothes and get out of the room. There was no one in the hallway.

Damn it!

Where did she go? It's almost dark outside. Where would she go this late?

I know! I'm going to check the arena. I walk fast to there and finally find her. There she was training.

What a relief...

Philippa's POV

I've got to train!

I can't stop!

I can't give up!

I stop for just a second. I'm still sore from yesterday...

No! No! No! I can't stop. I've got to show Loki that he was wrong.

I grab my sword and go to the traning dummy. I slash it in many different ways 'till I drop the sword and let it fall to the ground. I fall on my knees... I'm exausted. I breathe in the fresh air of the night.

I hear footsteps behind me. In a quick movement I get up and grab my sword pointing it to who was behind me. "Loki!" I said frightened. He was surprised. He didn't expect me to react that way.

I put my sword down and he comes closer.

"It's too late to be training" he said calmly looking me in the eyes.

"I know...but it has to be. I don't want to be a misery."

He noticed that I had used his own words. He grinned and got even closer. He put one of his hands on my face and kissed me. I pull away.

"It's time to dinner" he said looking at me "I want you to have dinner with me...in my room." he said seriously.

My room was summed up in one division with a bed and another that was a bathroom. Now, his room...it had everything! A division with a kitchen, one with a living-room, another for a bedroom and one for a bathroom. I don't even know why he calls it a room.

"Okay!" I say smiling. He smiles, takes my hand in his and leads me to his room.
